Duke has nothing clinched. A few losses by Denver, and suddenly Duke has zero top 10 wins.wgdsr wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 11:46 amgood chance he's been nursing it for a while from what i gather (hammy?). if i'm duke, i don't believe i've clinched anything. expect if he can, he'll be going this weekend. they do get a weekend off and ~2 weeks to their next game. which if they feel they can handle or get a quick lead may effectively give a chance for another week off.

It’s pretty wild the amount of insane talent they’ve churned through over the last 10 years without a championship.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 12:08 pmSomeone else has posted what I have been saying for years.
That 2021 season was particularly bizarre. They returned 90% of key contributors from a 2019 final four team that was a failed clear away from a NC game appearance, added generational talents Michael Sowers and Brennan O’Neill, all to get blown out in the semis. Lazy coaching at its finest.

Re: Duke Fans
It's crazy how much talent Duke truly gets. Campus is sort of dead...weird, dark vibe. With the options down south in the ACC, don't see the draw of Duke.BigTom5 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 8:31 amIt’s pretty wild the amount of insane talent they’ve churned through over the last 10 years without a championship.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 12:08 pmSomeone else has posted what I have been saying for years.

Re: Duke Fans
this started as a Duke hate thread, but evolved into a sincere discussion on what's going wrong in Durham. Heartwarming!
Re: Duke Fans
Someone has to first define "wrong", though.

Re: Duke Fans
Comparatively speaking, unless you're going after a specific major, I don't see why you wouldn't go to UNC or UVa. If you don't care about culture and social life, just go north to an Ivy. I do hear the strippers in Durham are top notch.BigTurn wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 2:44 pmYou don’t see the draw of a top 10 university that competes deep into the tournament almost every year?Hooz123 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 1:26 pmIt's crazy how much talent Duke truly gets.

Re: Duke Fans
There’s a pretty large difference in job outcomes in hyper competitive industries from a top 10 v. a top 25. Duke is similarly ranked to the ivies yet plays better lacrosse, has a big time mens bball presence, and has better weather. Not at all surprised that top recruits continue to line up.Hooz123 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 2:47 pmComparatively speaking, unless you're going after a specific major, I don't see why you wouldn't go to UNC or UVa.

Re: Duke Fans
I'm pretty sure the recruit worried about hyper-competitive job placement doesn't care about the Duke basketball program when it comes to college selection...but I get your point. I was just ragging on their campus. I get why they are a draw...doesn't mean they also don't have a funeral-type vibe on campus. Just being petty.BigTurn wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 2:51 pmThere’s a pretty large difference in job outcomes in hyper competitive industries from a top 10 v. a top 25.

Re: Duke Fans
Fair enough. I’m in no way connected to the school, I just can very much understand why people like it. Can’t say I’m the biggest fan of the gothic architecture most of the time either, it’s even worse in New Haven.Hooz123 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 2:58 pmI'm pretty sure the recruit worried about hyper-competitive job placement doesn't care about the Duke basketball program when it comes to college selection...but I get your point.

Re: Duke Fans
I’m still bewildered that Syracuse held Duke to 4 goals, then allowed Cornell and UVA to drop 18 and 17 respectively.
I don’t think there are many Duke fans here but I’d sure love to understand what happened. It certainly wasn’t the weather.

Re: Duke Fans
I’m pretty sure Duke has one win in the Dome all time and it was in OT last year. Pair whatever that mental block is with a mid week game where the team isn’t dialed in, and there’s potential for disaster.
Re: Duke Fans
Thanks. That’s as good an explanation as I’ve heard.
If the two teams meet again, I wonder to what extent a previous match factors into confidence.
Re: Duke Fans
Found that game inexplicable. Yes, credit to the Cuse D, but, 4 goals by Duke - anywhere, anyhow - remarkable. Kind of like the regular season record of Duke over UVA - past 20 games? - hard to explain.
Great weekend of lacrosse, and we're just getting started. Should be outstanding games rest of the way.... can't wait.
